Did HP drop the ball on the 850 G3 displays...wow

[Duckduckgo]

The 1920x1080 pixel count is so horrible. It's impossible to get settings that looks good. If you're lucky you can find the G3 in the higher count, but they're rare.

I'm using win 10 and nothing can seem to help. The older elitebooks blow away the screens used now.

What can I do except throw away the **bleep** thing?...I've already tried Intel's graphic control app and really it doesn't help much.

Windows doesn't give the option to copy that info. I'd have to type it all in by hand. It it a windows or hp thing?..

Hello @Duckduckgo 

Take a screenshot of the requested data.

Kind regards

The adapter is intel HD Grpahics 520.

This computer is 1920x1080.....You guys made an entire series of laptops with this poor quality screen? I can't believe HP did this. It was a major fumble on whoever makes the decisions, they shouldn't be holding a job there.

You literally have to be looking directly at the screen at a very small focal point or you have to adjust the screen to your every head level change when you use this POS screen.

It produces the most opaque visibility of any screen on any computer I used in my entire life.

You guys mass produced **bleep**t screened elitebooks.
